LPF Posted 3 August 2020 Posted 3 August 2020 Quickly accept an offer from Chelsea and buy Reguilon for about 25M 1

It wasn't their fault as we had a release clause which they paid well over anyway, plus we ripped them off with Drinkwater. So £90m for Chilwell will have to do. I disagree re Drinkwater. They value they got for that £30m was awful but it was their fault he wasn't a success there, it wasn't that he was a bad footballer who wasn't worth it. Similar to Slimani here really. Clearly there is a player there who was worth £20m odd at least, it just didn't work here. That was our fault - it just wasn't the transfer we needed at the time. 2
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 3 August 2020 Posted 3 August 2020 Think it's important we buy before we sell because if we get silly money from Chelsea for BC then we'll, in turn, have our pants down from any club we want to buy from. 1

And we’ll want a lot of it if not all of it up front. Couple of add-ons. I can’t see them paying it for him this summer especially with what they’ve already spent. I said last week I didn't think they'd pay it this summer, and that was 60-65m, if we want 90 then there's no chance surely?!

Mehrez Posted 3 August 2020 Posted 3 August 2020 Can we make some fantasy lists of what we’re going to spend ninety million great British pounds on
foxinsocks Posted 3 August 2020 Posted 3 August 2020 28 minutes ago, Grebfromgrebland said: This is an interesting point you raise. JJ and Thomas are currently confident and play without fear. Would more time under Brendan actually make them worse players and stop their natural good game? Most of the team got worse as the season went on. It's a problem of hectoring players so they question themselves. A good coach revises the automatic responses/inclinations of the players. In a game situation they cant be thinking everything thru. I am sure Rodgers would know this. Imo chillwell got worse since his England call up.... this could be caused by him being more wary of mistakes... or something southgate did!

With the exception of goalkeepers all Leicester players get worse after England call ups , or like Lineker they have to leave. Jamie retired quickly which enabled him to recover. It is some form of curse.
Nick Posted 3 August 2020 Posted 3 August 2020 1 hour ago, Bert said: Why will we? People go on like we’ve not got a pot to piss in. There’s funds for transfers with or without player sales. Not saying that at all. Was simply thinking if we need 4/5 players it may be in the region of 100 million... I did wonder if a proportion may come from a sale.
Hales Posted 4 August 2020 Posted 4 August 2020 I can't imagine Chilly is happy about that post! All over social media now. What an idiot. Trying to make yourself relevant Danny? 🙄😒
Motty Posted 4 August 2020 Posted 4 August 2020 7 hours ago, Abrasive fox said: We're so much better at selling players than we used to be. The players are on good long term contracts for themselves, but it seems with no get out clauses. Thus meet our Valuation or no sale policy. Since we won the league, players contracts are regularly reviewed and where deemed necessary improved.

Well...Ndidi is the better option I'd say at DM right now in terms of value, but wasn't Chelsea using Kante in more of an attacking role? Could he play alongside Wilf?

If we are honest what is his strengths Defending, not really Crossing, not really Pace, yes Getting into good attacking positions, yes but 9 time out of 10 makes a poor pass or decision. I will be disappointed if he doesn’t go for £60 mil +, as there is better, more accomplished players out there for less 👍 If that last bit is true, why are teams going for Chilwell and not them? Think we will miss him when he is gone far more than we think.

dbtcity Posted 4 August 2020 Posted 4 August 2020 Forget Swapping for Kante (not what we need) how bout Zouma and say 50m.... I’d say that was more realistic plus he fits the mould 1

Bert Posted 4 August 2020 Posted 4 August 2020 I personally only think we’ll make 3 signings and if we get a 4th it’ll be a late one which will also depend on how the season has started.
